In fashion for some time to come, is that of
lorgnettes Every well dressed woman who
makes any pretensions to style carries her
lorgnette to the opera, the theatre, the con-
cert room as certainly she carries a FAM a
handkerchief or any other necessary acces-
sary to the toilet. The lorgnette has grown
rapidly in favor, doubtless, from the fact of
the ease with which it is carried, as well as
its furnishing graceful toy to hold in the

Beautiful Women of Cuba.

Among our Cuban women the eyes, the
supple grace of the person and the dainty,
delicate foot are the most striking points.
Their faces are interesting rather than
beautiful, being oval, with delicate pro-
trading chins. Their mouths are gem
orally large but well formed, with sug-
gcstion of pathos in the slightly dropping
corners. Their compilations are pale and
creamy, but their lips are scarlet, mobile
and tremulOus. The teeth perfect in form
and dazzlinSly white. in contrast with
the lips The hair is lead black in youth
But the eyes are the priceless, crowning
loneliness. the never ending power and
charm of the fair Cubanesc- When YOU
say that behind their long lashes and
languidly moving lids they are large,
dark, dreamy, vet glowing, flashing with
fire or melting with languor, you have
only hint-i at the inexpressible express
sion. They talk with their eyes as no
other women in the world do.-New York

Food Products of China.

In an interesting article on The Food
of China" The North China Herald says
that the greatest part of the soil of the
Celestial empire which is cultivated is
devoted to the production of food. There
arc no flocks or herds. and the areas de-
voted to cotton and mulberry are very
small compared to the extent of the cm-
pire. OF the ESQ, 600, 900 or $50, 900, 900
of China three-fifths live on rice and two
tiftlls on small millet and wheat. In tie
dry, dusty soil of the northern provinces
miliet and wheat grow well and form the
food of the inhabitants: in the moist soil
and hot climate of south China rice pros
perS and forms the chief produce and
food of the people. Maize extends over
wider area every decade. Valuable.
too. is the glutinous rice, from which the
old undistilled wine is brewed, and which
is itself an appetizing article of food.
Cabbages and carrots, with the best tur-
nips, onions, melons and radishes, have
come into China from the west; the
kind which are indigenous are interior.
Western gardening, which has i'm
proved so many vegetable productions,
has done much for China in supplying
her markets. Spinach was introduced
1000 years ago from Persia, and the
name pot-sia, by which it is known,
means the Persian vegetable. Lately
beet root has come in from Europe, for
though the Chinese cannot make up their
minds to make railways, they like new
fruits and vegetables well enough The
introduction of European and American
vegetables, seeds and fruit trees into
China is improving and varying the food
OF the people, Just as western arts and
manufactures are increasing their luxuries
and comforts. And in these ways many
changes are being brought about quietly
but effectively, which are to consider
able extent altering the old life of the
Chinese and almost imperceptibly opening
the way to further departures. Chicago

Speaking Of Vassar, one OF the students
there is u daughter OF President Rocka-
Teller, of the Standard OH company. She
IL not robust, and Is afflicted with ten
derness Of vision which has caused the
doctors to prohibit her from reading.
Undeterred by this misfortune, and per-
haps stimulated by 1t, she pursues her
studies with the help Of an attendant who
reads to her. Miss Rockafeller's dimness
Of vision has not rendered her Indifferent
or unsympathetic to the hardships Of
others. Some time ago she noticed that
two Of the college messengers, who per-
formed In her division services analogous
to those OF bell boys in hotel, were
bright, intelligent girls. She thought 1t
o pity that such deserving fellow crea-
lures should be in great institution Of
learning without an opportunity to avail
themselves of its advantages, like Tan
talus, lip deep in water, yet unable to
assuage his burning thirst. She appealed
to her father in their behalf and he in
generous furtherance of her kindness
made arrangements to pay for the tuition
OF his daughters proteges throughout the
full college course. It is not such big
thing, perhaps, as the endowment Of 4
church or the contribution of large sum
to some popular movement, but it is an
act of quiet, transformations kindness that
derives much of its merit from the motive
and circumstances accompanying it.
